Strong selection of beautiful outerwear, cold weather suits and sport jackets at the J. Press Warehouse Sale going through Friday, 10/29. (Oh, no private pre-sale, in case you were wondering.) All the thick wool, tweed, and herringbone you’ll need to weather a North Eastern winter. Two words sum up the construction of this stuff: Sherman tank. Sizes range from XS to XL, but stock is limited in each. Relatively few shirts compared to years past…

Returned just now… picked up a tweed blazer (38R) for $105. Worth checking out if you want a blazer or suit, sweaters and ties were okay (ties are a little wide), not much in the way of shirts. But the blazers were a great deal so I’d check it out if you’re in the area.

The Harris Tweed Blazers seem to be a Beggar-favorite, I picked one up (in the color with the sleeve-label close-up above), as well. I remember there being at least 4 or 5 more of this color in various sizes (39R (1), 40R(1), I don’t remember the rest), at about 1PM today. The damaged section is worth a look, as well. The comments above are pretty much spot-on, so there isn’t much else to add.

John A, There’s a modern way to wear this stuff. Start with a piece or two, rather than wearing it head to toe like Andy (Ed Helms) on The Office. As long as it fits, pairing a tweed jacket, say, or a wool pinstriped jacket with some raw denim is very cool.

After checking the photos, I must say it all looks very 20th century. Love the materials, but I prefer them used on garment shapes that are updated for the 21st century. Otherwise they are not very flattering and they look too much like my Harvard-alumni bro-in-law (who I love, but wouldn’t want to be stuck in that sartorial time-warp). But that’s just me……………….

JPress, while well intentioned, has some of the baggiest fits ever. Totally stuffy and not at all wearable for someone who likes a slim cut. Not worth it if you have to pay $25-50 to alter something so radically.
